hi my name is Derrick. I work with Elementary schoolers as well as middle schoolers and I am a site director for summer camps during the school offseason. I just had a question about a phrase that I've heard growing up that I've used before in the past with my students. The phrase is apple of my eye. Is this a phrase that is okay to use with students? I'm asking because I've heard this used by my teachers when I was in school as a term of endearment and a appreciation when we've done something good or just being a good person, and I've used this before in the past with my students. I just want to make sure that this is an appropriate phrase to use with students. I just want to make sure that my words are not being mistaken for something inappropriate. Much appreciated!
